THE OUTLOOK.
No Cause for serious Anxiety
About Rain.


SAN FRANCISCO, January lS.-Refer'
ring to dispatches received at Chicago
that grain operators in California were
seriously alarmed over the lack of rain,
and that wheat had advanced three and
half cents per GENITAL, the Bulletin this
afternoon says: The rainfall on the
coast for the season to date is nearly five
inches. In some interior towns it is
slightly under these figures, but the con-
dition of the country does not Justify the
exaggerated reports telegcaphed to Chi
cago. The rainfall in this city up to
noon to-day for the season is four and
three. quarter inches. During the season
of lSS3-S4 the rainfall up to the same
date was only five and one. tenth inches.
After that good rains came and good
crops resulted. Farmers were not dis
couraged. Light showers fell to-day
and the indications favor heavy rains
before the month is out. Wheat, buyer
season, closed to-day at $l.575 per cen.
tai, quarters of a cent under Sat-

THE SURYEYS.
WHat the Surveying Parties hGUe
Done and are Doing IN
this Tcinity, Etc.

/ Engineer Nutting's party arrived here
from the Clearwater last Friday and
after outfitting left for Salmon river with
instructions to survey the Salmon river
canyon frcm the mouth of Rocky can
yon to Snake river. They found good
grades across the prairie on their first
survey of Cottonwood creek, the only
heavy part of the route being for a dis
tance of eight miles around the falls Of
the creek where the grade averages
three per cent. For the rest of the way
down the creek and river they found
excellent grades, and finally connected
with the stakes left by Clarke's survey
last year on the north side Of the river
short distance below the forks. No
accident happened during the progress
of the work except the capsizing of .
skiff during the freshet and the invasion
of their camp one night by the rising
waters. The work now before them Is
one of possible danger at this season
owing to the high water, as the bluffs
which enclose the stream are in places
quite preciptous which will necessitate
the frequent use of boats. The worst
part of the canyon is at the mouth Of
the river, where the bluffs on either
side stand straight up and down like
walls, and where the river drops consid-
arably in its descent to join the waters
of the Snake. AS the worst of the high
water is gone down it is hoped that the
party will be able to complete their ar
duous labor without accident.
Meanwhile the party under chief en-
gineer Van Arsdel have finished their
survey across the prairie to Salmon river
having found very much better grade
than was expected down Grave creek.
This grade is reported to us as not ex-
ceeding two per cent. for the entire
descent, but it will require much trestle
building to make the climb. The party
are now running up the river with the
intention of continuing ON and up the
Little Salmon, there connect with Gen.
Clarke's party surveying this way from
the Weiser country. The survey of Sal
mon river was made from Salmon city
down in 1872 by Col. De Lacy on behalf
of the Northern Pacific company who at
that time were looking out a route for
that great railroad. According to Col.
De Lacy's report the average fall of SAL
mon river was thirteen feet per mile for
the entire distance.
| LATER.
Gen. Clarke's party are on the lower
Little Salmon and progressing at the
rate of two miles per day. Our inform
ant came in over the trail from the Wei
ser and reports the company all well
and the chief highly gratified with the
practicability of the route 30 far as ht
, has surveyed it.

THE MOUNTAIN TRAILs.-Frank Smith,
supervisor of road district No. 9, has
completed the opening of the trail from
Warrens to Florence and is now work.
ing this way on the Nose Melnor trail
between Florence and Mt. Idaho. The
heavy winds which prevailed last win
ter caused the amount of timber to be
cut out much greater than usual, and
that portion of the trail between Shear
er's ferry and Florence appears to have
experienced the stormiest time, as the
down timber is thicker there than any
where else on the trail. The Elk city

HIGH WATER.-So far as heard from
all the bridges in this county are safe,
and no damage has been done. The
water on the south fork of Clear
water was up to within eight inches of
the Jackson bridge, but the structure
still stands. Fears were entertained
that the new 5000 bridge over Secesh
creek would go, but nothing has been
heard of it, and as there is considerable
travel over the trail it is presumed to be
safe. The wire bridge was fortunately
stripped before the rise, and as it was
the drftwood struck it and carried
away several of the stringers. The
branches of drifting tree caught tht
cable of Shearer's ferry and tore it from
its fastenings on this side. An enor
nous drift went down. The waite
stood three feet deep in Doumecq'
store, but we hear of no damage beinl
done, except for the flooding of garden
| along the streams.
